Wordstrings has updated "All the best..." with a new chapter. It's like Christmas whenever she does that. I absolutely adore her writing, it's absolutely amazing what she does with words. Wow, what a chapter! (And I thought I saw several referances to other Johnlock fics, quite cool!)

Oh, it wasn't a rec, only information. But ok, I can post it over there.

Thanks. In doubt, read #1

I am losing my mind and need some advice on a fanfic I am planning (while still working on finishing 'Whipped'...)
It's about the name of the female character... I am really struggling to find a suiting one... and I have an idea, but I'm not sure it's appropriate...
In short the story is based on how I met my boyfriend, obviously well overdramatized (and adding a twist of Sherlock being undercover unbeknownst to the girl...) and how he 'saved' me from a bad man...
As always (since writing for me is a therapeutic exercise usually) the main character will have a lot of my traits and issues...
And here is the pickle... the only name that I like so far is Kitty... first of all, that clashes with Kitty the journalist... and that is one of my two nicknames (that and Kitten)... but there's a lot of fun to be had with the cat theme... and it was the first name my boyfriend knew me as...
Gah. I'll have a hell of time naming a child some day.

How about just calling her Kat? Would that work?

I was just thinking about that actually! It totally could work!
YES! Thank you! It's been driving me mad. I already have a ton of fun ideas even about the start of the conversation.

Happy to help.

Wonderful news - wordstrings have now competed "All the Best..."! :-D

This is the only WIP I have ever read and will ever read. Because I do not want to die before she is finished but you never know. And because it is so incredibly good.
Offline
I'm not sure that it's wonderful news, because now it's over! *cries* I can't believe I've been devoted to this story since December 2012! Seeing it finish is like losing the family dog or something. But it's a beautiful ending, and now that it's complete I've loaded it to my Kindle and am looking forward to starting all over again!

I think I will give myself the deferred pleasure and read it from the beginning without knowing the last chapter. What a ride that was!
Offline
I think I will do the same - re-read it from the beginning. I haven't read the two last chapters.
I hope wordstrings write more Johnlock, I absolutely adore her writing style.

IMO she is maybe the best SH fanfic writer of all. I am also a big fan of her Katie Forsythe stories. They are simply the best Victorian Johnlock literature and she has created a whole universe for her heroes spanning several decades.

I don't want to read that last chapter because it will be over afterwards. :-(
You are right, Susi, she is brilliant!
Offline
Brilliant! I put reading it on hold until it was finished but it was difficult. This is fantastic!

Considering some have been waiting for this since 2012, this is the only time I've been grateful to have only joined this fandom in the last year: I didn't have to wait long for this masterpiece to reach its conclusion. :D

I did just that - started the fic over without having read the last two chapters. Best idea you could have come up with, SusiGo, because it has been so long since I read the first half or so of this fic that I had forgotten quite a bit. So some parts was like reading it for the first time. Reading a wordstring Johnlock chapter as if for the first time - what a treat!
Amazing, amazing fic. Her writing is in a category of it's own.

I am approaching the end and it still has me on the edge of my seat. Unbelievable. This is so very good and different from all other fics I know. I love everything about it. The sex scenes - which could have been awkward in the hands of a less skilled writer - are incredibly well done. And the feelings, oh, my. I am looking forward to and dreading the end at the same time.
